Scholar | Curator | Choreographer

Teaching

My teaching areas include: theatre history, performance studies, art history, and American studies. In addition, I have experience teaching critical race studies and gender and sexuality studies. I have designed and taught writing intensive courses to undergraduate students, and I have experience leading large lecture courses, small seminars, online courses, and teaching undergraduate and graduate students.

I have taught at the University of Minnesota, the University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Montclair State University, Pace University, and the New School. I was awarded a competitive Collegium of University Teaching Fellowship (CUTF) in 2015. This course focused on the ways theatre and dance has been presented in museums and exhibitions beginning in the 19th century through the present. I successfully applied for a teaching grant that supported field trips to museums and guest lectures with leading scholars and curators.

In addition to my teaching experience, I assisted in curricular design. I was hired by the UCLA Theatre Department to re-imagine the undergraduate theatre history course focused on 1500-1850. My syllabus framed the time period through increasing globalization and colonial projects. Case studies draw attention to how performance served as a mode of resistance on the part of oppressed communities and also as a means of re-inscribing the values of the empire.

Below find a list of my designed syllabi and a complete list of the courses I have taught.
